assessment1



Agriculture is responsible for the vast majority of EU15 NH3 emissions, 93% in 2001. Ammonia emissions in the EU15 have been reduced by 7.6% since 1990 largely due to decreases made in the agriculture sector. This has been achieved through a reduction in livestock numbers (especially cattle), changes in the management of organic manures and from the decreased use of nitrogenous fertilisers
